The J88 was the bottom-of-the-line full size car. All the size and weight of the Eighty Eight with the smaller motor and brakes from a Cutlass. It's a perfectly good car, but it was the lowest-price full size car that year.

So, should I expect a 330 backed by 2 speed transmission? Its a 4 door car & auto.

That is all i know about it right now.

Nothing but a 330. Std trans was a 3-speed manual column shift, but I don't think you'll ever find one. Optional was the 2-speed auto Jetaway, the 4-speed manual floor shift, and in '66 only, the 3-speed auto Turbo-Hydra. The Jetaway will be the most likely.

And I have to say that Olds never made a plain "Jetstar". There was the 'Jetstar 88", '64-'66, and the "Jetstar 1", '64-'65. *Very* different cars!

Wonder if that fellow from PNW ever sold that J88 with Turbo 400 we were talking about a few weeks back?
